Dorm Drama/Campus Life

From broken elevators to late-night fire alarms and mysterious stains in the laundry room—this is the heart of dorm life adventures. If it involves walls you didn’t choose and neighbors you didn’t ask for, you're not alone—it's all part of the experience here.

    📦 ROM Package Retrieval aka Modern-Day Side Quest

    Happy New Year, my fellow readers. ^_^ I haven’t been active lately (my bad lol), but I’m back to posting every once in a blue moon. So, getting into the story today: like many HU students, I went back to my family for the long winter break and didn’t have to deal with package delivery chaos or cooking fatigue compared to cough, cough ROM. For once, things were normal. Since I take Amtrak and don’t want to haul a bunch of luggage through those cramped aisles (seriously, just look at a photo online of the train’s interior (*  ̄︿ ̄)), I did what made sense; I mailed two packages to campus…

    Where Did All the Clubs Go?

    AliasRZ here back again, and this time we’re diving into something that should’ve been a strength of student life at HU… but instead feels like a slow-motion collapse. Let’s talk clubs. Before I started Room Zero, I did what many students do: I looked up clubs on the official HU pages. And wow—on paper?We’re stacked. Pretty stacked, right? Well… 💥 The Reality Check None. Not a single hobby group, niche fandom, identity-based collective, or casual social outlet is active right now. Interest Groups Status: 🪦 “No Interest Groups are active at this time.” Let me repeat that: What’s Really Going On? This isn’t just bad luck. It’s a collapse in…

    🕳️ Quiet Halls, Empty Lobbies: Where Is Everyone?

    Welcome back to another Monday and another week back to the grind at HU. Today, I want to take a second to talk about something that doesn’t get mentioned enough: student life… or the weird lack of it. Ever notice how empty certain areas feel?The library.The ROM first floor.Even the HU lobby. It’s like the building is open—but no one’s home. 🤔 So, what’s going on? I’ve seen people online call it out too—how events come and go with barely a soul showing up. Others say students just don’t leave their dorms, even when things are happening. But honestly? Can you blame them? 😶 And then there’s the people factor……

    🚪 ROM’s Front Door Fiasco

    Posted by AliasRZ Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying your last few hours of freedom before classes kick your teeth in again. Today’s rant is dedicated to a recurring issue that just won’t die:The ROM front doors.Yes, those doors. If you’ve been lurking on Discord lately, you’ve probably seen the constant pings begging for someone—anyone to come open the doors. At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if someone gave up and tried to dropkick their way in. Honestly? I’d respect it. And no, this isn’t some new, temporary issue.This has been happening since last year.Let that sink in. You’d think someone—anyone—would’ve fixed it by now, but clearly, we’re asking…

    📦 HU Mailroom Madness: A Waiting Game

    Posted by AliasRZ Well, welcome back everyone to Room Zero. It’s me, AliasRZ, here again with another post about the HU Experience™. To keep the platform active, I’ve got something that needs to be talked about: The Mailroom Situation 🎁 Simply put? It’s annoying—especially depending on whether you’re stuck in PA Place or ROM. Let’s focus on ROM first.It’s a mess. Packages need to be sent to the main school building first (because why not complicate things), and then you just… wait. You hope the unpaid RAs eventually dig through the mailroom, find your name, and pass along your package like it’s a sacred artifact. But hold up—you can’t just…
